It's Scrabble Day !

Today is the 13th April and that means it's Scrabble Day (yesterday it was Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day and tomorrow is Reach As High As You Can Day). Who knew!

So get the Scrabble Box out and enjoy a game! Do you play, have you ever played?

Scrabble is a word game in which two to four players score points by placing tiles, each bearing a single letter, onto a game board divided into a 15×15 grid of squares. The tiles must form words that, in crossword fashion, read left to right in rows or downward in columns, and be included in a standard dictionary or lexicon.

The name Scrabble is a trademark of Mattel in most of the world, except in the United States and Canada, where it is a trademark of Hasbro. The game is sold in 121 countries and is available in more than 30 languages; approximately 150 million sets have been sold worldwide, and roughly one-third of American and half of British homes have a Scrabble set. There are approximately 4,000 Scrabble clubs around the world.

Of course one important thing to remember when playing Scrabble is to enjoy a cuppa - tea or coffee is good. Some may also like a biscuit to chew on when thinking up words. Word of warning do take care not to spill your drink or leave biscuit crumbs on the Scrabble Board!
